Describe your problem. List any error messages and symptoms. Be descriptive.
I built this in June 2014 2015 with a GTX 960 in it. Recently (last two weeks) replaced it with a GTX1060.
It has been running fine. I've been monitoring temps with MSI Afterburner, and the GPU hasn't gotten above 80C. I have never overclocked anything in this build.
Today, I turned on the computer to a blank screen and "DVI no signal" after the Windows 10 logo. After the steps I took below, the PSU popped a capacitor in a brilliant flash and smoke. I'm pissed.
List anything you've done in attempt to diagnose or fix the problem.
To try to fix the display issues:
- Checked all display connections. "DVI no signal" after Windows logo.
- Restarted computer. "DVI no signal" after Windows logo.
- Unplugged and switched off PSU. Waited a minute. Restarted. "DVI no signal" after Windows logo.
- Removed GPU and tried to boot with onboard graphics. No signal at all.
- Re-placed GPU, tried HDMI instead of DVI. No signal at all.
- Tried to boot to BIOS by both holding and mashing F2. Blank (not black) screen. Can't get to BIOS.
I forget what I tried next, but when I tried to turn on the computer my PSU exploded. :'(
Post relevant photos of build/parts here.
N/A
Provide any additional details you wish below.
I guess what my question is: are these problems directly related? If not, what else could be causing the problem? What are my next steps in troubleshooting?
I had intended to replace this computer at the end of January (build here if you're interested, I appreciate feedback in the comments) but I'm scared that I have fried components. How should I test them?
I am also apprehensive about getting another Corsair PSU, so can anyone recommend another? I'm gonna be a queen and say that it needs to be black and white... sorry.
